Arellcat may have link. Pretty amazing leap after many years with small increments. </p> <p>Is 100mph possible? Mr Obree thought it was but admits there is a lot more to it than he first thought (as documented in his recent film which we enjoyed seeing at Filmhouse). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16876#post-230927 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 09:56:46 +0000 I were right about that saddle 230927@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has he got a playing card in the spokes? What a racket. What a speed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16876#post-230912 Fri, 16 Sep 2016 08:58:43 +0000 Roibeard 230912@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Legs and the jet engine you can hear as it thunders past - clearly a case of mechanical doping!</p> <p>&lt;removes tongue from cheek&gt;</p> <p>Amazing achievement, and does demonstrate that road noise at higher speeds is due to the tyres and forcing air out of the way rather than the engine.</p> <p>Is 100 mph possible? It's been in the 80s since 2001, so 90 seemed out of reach, but this vehicle and rider seem to be capable of it indeed. How much more can be achieved?</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16876#post-230890 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:30:10 +0000 LaidBack 230890@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That. Is. Amazing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16876#post-230885 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:16:13 +0000 Arellcat 230885@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"When this baby hits 88 miles an hour, you're gonna see some serious stuff."</em></p> <p>In today's Human Power Speed Record runs in Nevada, Todd Reichert of Team Aerovelo broke the world record in Eta, reaching 88.26 mph!</p> <p>This is what it sounded like:</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp6JePiGSJY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp6JePiGSJY</a></p> <p>Legs and wind permitting, Todd can probably take it up to 90. </p>
